Leanne Betasamosake Simpson - Live Like The Sky

Renowned Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg musician and author Leanne Betasamosake Simpson returns with Live Like The Sky, the highly anticipated follow up to her Polaris Music Prize short-listed album Theory Of Ice.

Working towards a reclamation of land, language, and sonics, Live Like The Sky records an expansion of imagination and relationship. Written in response to a world engulfed in wildfire smoke, fascism, colonialism, and hetero-patriarchy, the album marries the sonics of classic alternative shoegaze (think Lush, The Cure, Jesus and Mary Chain) with a vital Anishinaabe worldview to create a fugitive space of re-worlding and affirmation. Here are complex nuanced shorelines, where a newly developed alternative pop musical sensibility (oft-dubbed "moccasin gaze") provides a counterpoint to lyrics of resistance and a powerfully emergent creative process.

This vinyl edition produced by You've Changed Records in 2025.
